James Taylor - Hard Times Lyrics
We've seen some hard times, hard times, holding it together ain't always easy.
An angry man, hungry woman, they're driving each other crazy.
It's so low down, show down, there's nothing else safe to say.
Baby's on the town, baby's looking round, talking about walking away.
We've got to hold on, loving me may not make much sense.
But I'm gone on you, baby, baby, I'm gone and I want you back again.
I may be wrong for you, baby, maybe I'm wrong, but I love you just the same.
Now, we've got to hold on, got to hold on. We've got to hold on, got to hold on.
We've got to hold on, got to hold on, we've got to hold on, got to hold on.
We've got to hold on, got to hold on.
Hard times, hard times, holding it together ain't always easy.
An angry man, hungry woman, they're driving each other crazy.

James Taylor Hard Times Comments
im getting song-ads that are from india
i love james taylor
I played this song over and over again during a difficult time in my marriage. Eventually we divorced, but still after years have gone by, "Hard Times" brings tears. Can't play it without feeling sorrow.
Heartfelt comment, man. When it comes to divorce, I'd rather have my back broke and get it over with. All the best to you.....
Got to hold on.
My favorite song on par with Smiling face so far. James Taylor is the KING. long live
Zachari Charrier mine 2 favorite too..
grande james...inolvidablee..!!!!
Amazing how just one song can put me right in one specific memory in 1981 . I was in bed recovering from two broken legs; a car accident from riding with a drunk driver. All I did was lay there day after day (Gettin into my wheelchair for a few hours was the thrill of the day lol) and think about the new album coming out since by then I had worn out the "Flag" album out on my turntable. I had a buddy buy it for me the day it came out, and listened to it until I memorized every song.I wanted to meet JT very much, and what he was doing at any given moment of the day was on my mind for a good portion of my day I was 20 yrs old.Damn man...
I think gib, that like most others who had grown up or lived through the memorable years that JT anointed us with his wisdom, they too have a memorable time where one of James songs, chorus' or lyrics helps the nastalgia. Either a depressive -another grey morning- or uplifting and motivating as - Hard times- Mr. Taylor always had a way to move us, and get into our hearts to let us know we're not alone.
back when JT rocked
this song only went to #72 on the pop charts in 1981!!!
James' background singers (whose names I don't recall right now) are just as sweet as can be in this marvelous song. Was it Andre McCuller, I think? I think he's the high part....
Arnold McCuller
Right. Thanks.
also david lasley
Yup. That's right. I remember the name now. It was those two.
JT honest look at his marriage with wife Carly Simon back then in 1981
I have been searching for this song forever thank you I found it
Been looking for this song FOREVER!!! Thank you so much Tokpi0817! Without a doubt one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
I so much love this. :-)
Love This Record I think its his best !
I actually have a live version of this song on VHS with James and his background singers. Totally awesome. Disappointing that YouTube doesn't have it.
I've been waiting for them post this on youtube and boy am I glad someone did. Great song to hear when times are hard!
I have loved this JamesTaylor album for a long time, but I am just starting to reconnect with it for the first times since the early 80's when I played it all the time, esprcially at SUNY New Paltz! Love, BobbyK
davao 1981 -83.....davao christian ,rolling hills ,stella maris, gaisano, PUs...the carefree years...not doin much just playing hoops all day.....this tune takes me back....what ill do to go back for a day...
